In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world.
The 3rd Sunday of Advent is about water. Isaiah invites us to “come to the water” to experience a vision of the world that God is ushering in. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.
